Crewe, CW2 6RU · Cheshire East · primary school
30th of 114 primary schools in Cheshire East we can score, 123 in total — the rest without enough published data. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Narrow the comparison to the 4,028 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 6.0/10 among them, against 6.9/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.
How this is worked out
| Measure | Percentile | Weight | Adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 80.0 · 88 | 40% | 3.51 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 5.0 · 40 | 25% | 1.00 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
Get to know the school
How it's doing. In 2024/25, 80.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 5.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in March 2025. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 6.0 out of 10 among them, against 6.9 out of 10 nationally.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join the Computer Xplorers club and take part in Bikeability. An after-school club is available, but there is no breakfast club.
Getting in. The school has 475 pupils in a building with 420 places, meaning it is over capacity by 55. This means places are competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the daily routine with 55 more pupils than its stated capacity? What specific support is available for pupils who do not reach the expected standard in maths? How does the after-school club operate on days when the school is at full capacity?
